Grandma Winterholler's Hamburger Soup

This is my Grandma's soup. We love it so much and the flavor is great! You can add whatever veggies you want, but this is typically what I use. I promise you won't be disappointed!

1 large onion, diced
2 cloves finely diced or pressed garlic
1 T. butter
1-1/2 pounds hamburger
2 cans beef broth (or chicken if you don’t have beef)
Water
1 Tbsp. beef or chicken base (or 3 bouillon cubes)
2 diced potatoes
Carrots
Can of corn
Green beans, optional
Peas, optional
Broccoli, optional
Cauliflower, optional

In stockpot, sauté onion and garlic in the small amount of butter. Don’t let the onions turn brown. Add hamburger and brown. Add 2 cans of beef broth, 3 cans of water, 1 Tbsp. beef base (or cubes). Add 2 diced potatoes, carrots, and any other vegetables that you want to add. Simmer for 30 minutes then serve. Enjoy!

Navajo Tacos

1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
1 cup refried beans
4 green onions, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes (Mexican style- 15 oz.)

Toppings
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 head small iceberg lettuce - shredded
sour cream

8-10 frozen rolls (dough)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Brown meat in medium hot skillet and then add refried beans, onions and tomatoes. Simmer slowly until ready to serve.

Put rolls, separated, on dinner plate and microwave about 2 minutes on DEFROST seting. Heat oil on griddle: slightly flatten rolls into rectangles (about 3X4 inches), and fry both sides until brown. Sit on paper towels until ready to serve.

Pile on meat mixture and toppings onto the fry bread. Enjoy!

Tip: I also fry up a few more rolls to use as scones for dessert. Just add honey, powdered sugar, or your other favorite scone topping.
